Team on the Sea: Louis Xu – A Tranquil Autumn Voyage

I spend most of my daily time at the dock or at sea. Beyond my work, I enjoy sailing with my family and friends, and each voyage offers unique experiences, shaped by weather and destinations.

Last fall, a group of good friends and I set sail for Dalajiao Island. Autumn is the best season for sailing in Guangdong. It’s the perfect temperate. Departing from Huizhou, we charted a course through a string of islands. The rhythmic play of waves and sails erased the noise of city life, leaving only the embrace of nature.

We bought fresh seasonal seafood from the fishermen and sailed the boat to the bay of Dalajiao Island in the evening. The setting sun painted the water in golden hues while we enjoyed the dinner prepared by a friend. There is nothing more joyful than drinking and talking with good friends under the stars.

When morning arrived, I rose with the sun and swam in the clear water. A cup of coffee completed the ritual. By noon, we weighed anchor, bound for our next destination.

This trip was unforgettable. I especially liked the bay under the moonlight that night. Nature can restore our spirit and kindle inspiration. As I pen this, I’m already thinking about my next adventure. Happy sailing to you too!
